Preheat oven to 180°C. Soak the couscous in 2 cups of water for 5 mins. Use a fork to separate grains. Stir in almonds, figs and cinnamon.

Remove foil and cook for a further 30 minutes or until the juices run clear when tested with a skewer.

Meanwhile, place sweet potato on a baking paper lined tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each pear quarter in proscuitto and add to tray. Add to oven 40 mins into cooking time.

Turkey Tips

  • After purchasing fully cooked smallgoods, ensure they are stored in the refrigerator with their wrapping sealed until required. After opening, they must be consumed within 2-3 days.
  • If you cook poultry to eat later, refrigerate while hot.
  • Use separate cutting boards and utensils when handling raw and cooked poultry. Wash these thoroughly with hot, soapy water before and after handling. Also use separate cutting boards from poultry for fruit and vegetables.
  • Defrost in the refrigerator only, not on the bench.
